CBS's Attkisson Reporting Worth a Look!

You have to admire CBS Reporter Sharyl Attkisson. She has been steadfast and honorable in her reporting of Pres. Obama's outright lies concerning the 'Affordable Healthcare Act'......The first word in the name of the bill is a LIE! The first word in th...e title of a Bill with THOUSANDS OF PAGES............WHICH NOBODY COULD READ UNTIL IT WAS PAST!!!!!......Don't You just love Nancy Pelosi?!....was a lie!!! Sharyl has told the tale with all that matters, Truth, PERIOD. She had pressed her back to the wall with Benghazi.
Sharyl Attkisson should be proud of herself. CBS should proud to have her among their ranks. She is a Journalist in a profession far too often more prone to Cheerleading than to investigative reporting.
It's far easier on the blood pressure to hear and see a story told NOT from the Right Side or the Left, But from the center where a Journalist should stand; From where you get the best view of the information at hand. Attkisson has done good work from that view with this 'Affordable' healthcare fiasco and through the smoke of Benghazi, Where the same cast of characters has made clear their intention to throw large balls of bull manure at the West Wing walls hoping the stink and mess will dissuade Reporters, like Sharyl, from digging deeper and accurately recording the truth for all time.
Attkisson is not the only actual Journalist working today. She is, however, a very good example of what is needed in the field of Journalism today and beyond.
One can only hope CBS realizes the value of reporting what is true versus promoting a particular agenda. Attkisson may be setting the bar back to a standard that no longer requires bending over to reach it.
